Running stuff through AnyDVD is the only thing that seems to work for me. So it makes me think its something with the protection on the discs, but I don't know why it only affects a few people.

You adapted the DVI port on the vid card to HDMI using a dongle and then used a HDMI->DVI cable? I wouldn't think that should do anything, but if that's what you're saying and it helped, I could buy a cable.

I don't know if any were Sony discs, I can try some though.
I already have my monitor set to never turn off, and sometimes the disc will stop barely a few minutes into the movie, so while that is one of the only reasonable explanations I've heard, I don't think its the problem.

No, this monitor doesn't have HDMI, just DVI and VGA ports.

PowerDVD9.0.2201
DVD090918-04
Windows Vista 64
ATI Radeon HD4850 9.9 drivers
DVI
I'm using PowerDVD 9 build 2201, but this problem has been going on for a long time. When playing a dvd or blu-ray, the screen will randomly go black for a couple seconds throughout the movie. It seems to be a completely random occurrence.
While its merely annoying during DVDs, when playing blu-rays, after the screen goes black I get an error message telling me that my LCD display isn't HDCP compliant, which isn't true. Then I have to start playing the disc over and try to skip ahead to where I was in the movie.
I've tried many different blu-rays and maybe one or two have played all the way through, but most quit 4-5 times during the movie.
I'm using a ViewSonic VP2250wb display that is HDCP compliant and I have the latest drivers. I've been updating my ATI HD4850 drives each month and that doesn't seem to make any difference either. I do have a 2nd monitor (with extended desktop) connected to this computer that isn't HDCP, but I tried unhooking that once and restarting my computer and watching a blu-ray and I still got the error.
The BD adviser tells me that I'm ok for basic playback, but under the advanced tab tells me that I need to upgrade if I want to do blu-ray live and stuff like that.
